Mouse alignment

I am having a problem with my mouse pointer. When I move the pointer/arrow
over an "X" I have noticed that if I try to click on the "X" (or whatever the
button may be for that matter) I have to actually move the pointer so that it
is above what I want to select. The odd thing is though, that this is not
always the case. Sometimes the poiner works just fine. I have noticed that
this does not happen on just certain applications; for the most part it just
randomly happens. It does consistently happen howver with the items shown in
the tray at the lower right portion of my screen. Any ideas how to fix this?
It is very annoying!!

Is this a laptop? If so, have you disabled the touchpad to see if things
improve? What kind of mouse and how is it attached? We really need to know
about your setup to make suggestions. How about specifics?

I have the same problem. I am running a Dell 420 with Vista using an optical
mouse which I had no problem with using it on the old computer with XP.

I have the same problem and use a Dell 420, Vista and an optical mouse which
worked fine on my old computer with XP.

But is the mouse usb, ps/2, wireless? You folks just don't understand that
if you don't tell us what you have we can't help.

I have the same problem with Dell 530 and a USB optical mouse. I
removed and redownloaded the drivers and it didn't happen. It is not
just websites though, I've had it occur on Outlook ,my Blackberry
Desktop Manager and and itunes.

It does not appear to be occuring right now on this website though.

I'm sorry...removing and reloading the driver did not help.

Thank goodness someone else is experiencing this - I thought I was all alone
in the world! I'm running a new Dell Inspiron 530 with Vista Premium on a
Samsung SM226BW, using a Logitech LX710 mouse (which worked fine on XP). I've
re-loaded, down-loaded and reloaded the drivers for the mouse and for the
monitor. I've ticked the "enhance pointer precision" box on the Mouse
Properties. If you need to know anything else please do I ask. I so need to
get this sorted!

I have the same mouse alignment problem with a Dell XPS420 computer and Dell
E228WFP monitor running Vista.

The brand new dell mocrosoft hid-compliant wired mouse does the same thing
with my brand new dell vista XPS 420. It does it badly in windows. I almost
could not get the name of the mouse through control panel because the mouse
and little hand are so far off alignment.

Hi

Just wondering has anyone found a definite solution to this issue yet?
Have been reading around and there seem to be a couple of common factors
here:

- Recent Dell machine (XPS / Vostro)
- *ATI Radeon HD 2600XT graphics card*
- Monitor running at highest resolution. *Is everyone getting this on
a 22" monitor?* I've seen a few posts relating to this. I notice
someone else getting this on a Samsung 226BW - same as I've got.I've now tried 3 different mice (supplied Dell corded optical one,
Logitech wireless one from S510 set, Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer for
Bluetooth) - same issue on all. Had installed software for each in
correct order, sticking to instructions.

Have ensured I have the latest graphics card drivers (8.402.0.0),
monitor driver (3.0.0.0) and mouse software/drivers.

Tried all suggestions on mouse pointer schemes.

Anything else?! V frustrating. Have contacted Dell Support but they've
suggested reloading Vista - something I want to avoid as it took me
nearly 2 days to get everything installed the way I want it!

My new Dell with ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO had the same problem. But it's not a
new problem, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/109517. There Microsoft
suggests the video driver is the cause. Indeed, installing the latest driver
solved it for me.

FYI I have now resolved this problem.

Had Dell Technician here, reinstalled Vista on new hard drive - problem
still existed.

Then we found ATI have just released (16/4/2008) a 'driver update'
(http://tinyurl.com/2lc2px). This fixed the mouse alignment problems :).


Strange as this issue isn't mentioned in the release notes.

I found this answer on the dell web site and it works for me without reloading drivers etc.

1. Right clisk the desktop and select "Personalize".

2. Select "Mouse Pointers", and then the "Pointers" tab.

3. From the "Scheme" drop-down list select "(None)".
4. Press OK and exit the dialogues.
